Would you like to hit the ball closer to the hole with your wedges?

This MEGA thread has everything you’ll ever need to become a master inside 100y

I'll also teach you how to hit this shot

🧵👇
Have you ever watched pros on TV hit those wedge shots into the green that bounce once or twice & then STOP immediately?

Well, below is everything you need to hit this shot & control the distance it goes.

We are looking for a low launching, high spinning wedge shot that produces predictable flight, spin & distance control every time.

Let’s dive in
Setup

Setting up to hit a perfect low launching, high spinning wedge shot is essential. There are some slight differences compared to a regular iron shot so let me show you how to set up to a wedge shot

Face On:
- Ball slightly back of centre
- Stance width no wider than shoulders
- Pelvis & chest slightly ahead of the ball
- Pressure 60% on the lead foot

Down The Line:
- Stand a little closer
- Stand a little more upright
- Lift the handle slightly higher
- This all helps with backswingImage

One of Bayer Leverkusen's strengths is their out-of-possession work. The set-up and execution from Xabi Alonso's side are top.

Let's take a look at how it helped against Eintracht Frankfurt last night.

Short thread Image
Image
Image
In Frankfurt's defensive third, they aggressively pressed man-to-man. Didn't allow Frankfurt to build through short passes. They were really effective on the night. Even jumped on the keeper whilst maintaining the shadow cover on the center-back. Image
Generally, out-of-possession, upon loose balls or second balls, Leverkusen were really aggressive. They brought a lot of energy to the counter-press. You'll see that paying off for three goals - to be touched on later.

To feel what Trump's aid cuts mean in Africa, read this superb piece by @nickswicks of the @FT. But we can go further in calling out @realDonaldTrump if we see through the myth that Africa is somehow in debt to the rich world... 🧵(1/7)

ft.com/content/533bc6…
Yes, aid from the US and other rich countries sustains vital services all over Africa. But the sums are a fraction of value of the oil, gas, metals and other natural resources carried off in the other direction every year. (2/7)

aljazeera.com/news/2018/2/20…
These resources are the basic ingredients of the global economy. But Africans are fleeced for them. Multinational mining companies use offshore chicanery to avoid taxes that could fund schools and hospitals. And then there's the corruption... (3/7)

A new preprint confirms that generalized joint #hypermobility is a risk factor for #LongCOVID, while breaking new ground by examining risks of extreme hypermobility and whether hypermobility risk varies based on severity of initial COVID infection. 1/12 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Echoing prior research, this study found that, in a sample of 1,816, people w/ generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) were at higher risk of Long COVID. This comes from a regression that controlled for age, sex at birth, number of infections and number of vaccine doses. 2/12
One of the innovations of this research was to examine whether the severity of symptoms during the initial COVID infection affects the relationship between hypermobility and #LongCOVID. Answer: It does, at least in the sample studied. 3/12

For the umpteenth time, let me repeat a few things to young men.

1) you do not meet a lady, and you attempt to coerce her to date you by telling her that you are dating her for marriage.

If you do this, you're already losing before starting.

2) you do not go for any lady that
is obviously way ahead of you in age, social class, education or financial status.

A man is supposed to be ahead of his woman in almost everything.

3) you do not see a lady in financial distress, and you take pity on her, then you start to take up her financial burden.
If you intend to do that, make sure that you're doing it purely on humanitarian ground, and not because you want to marry her.

Even if you decide to sleep with her, please keep it that way and do not force her to be in a relationship with you.

No lady owes you marriage, just

So this historyinmemes page is some Chinese propaganda operation mostly run by a rabid anti-India Pakistani/Islamist. Their anti India propaganda is constant. This one is like using Delhi Metro video to compare with Bombay local and saying look this is China that is India. 🧵 Image
Here are some normal trains from China. Which are not top class, bullet trains or metro. I know, I know, the colonized Indian sepoys are itching to reply somewhere here sh1tting on India denying this is China. It gives them pleasure. Do it, no problem. But see this thread and do. Image
China trains like Mumbai local. HistoryInMemes propaganda won't show this video along with say Delhi metro video as "Train in China vs Train in India." I know, for some low IQ colonized Indian minds this is creating an itch to reply "but in India everything is very bad." Go ahead

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺Zelensky claims that the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians support continuing the war against Russia

If that’s true, then why is Ukraine kidnapping random men off the street and sending them to the frontlines?

🧵Don’t believe us? We have proof👇 Image
Due to severe manpower shortages, Zelensky has ordered recruitment commissars to begin hunting down Ukrainian men en masse.

These commissars organize raids in gyms, shopping malls, public transport, restaurants, etc. in search of new cannon fodder.


Zelensky’s conscription thugs have a standard operating procedure:

Ambush an unsuspecting Ukrainian man, and drag him kicking and screaming into a minibus.

The victim is then handed over to a military unit and sent to the front after minimal training.
